Our recycler will accept the following materials:

• Paper - newspapers, magazines, shiny paper, milk and juice cartons, and cardboard

• Plastics #1 - #7 (except for large items like laundry baskets and milk crates)

• Glass, clear and colored

• Cans, tin and aluminum

• We may now recycle plastic bags and films, as long as they are not larger than typical from grocery store bag.

  • Please place them loose (not bagged) in your bin under other recyclables so they do not blow away.

  • Recyclable films include Grocery Bags, Retail Bags, Pet Treat Pouches, Detergent Pouches, Case Wrap, Shrink Film, Food Storage Bags, Snack Food Pouches, Salad Bags, Wipes Pouches, Candy Pouches, Baby Food Pouches, Bread Bags, Diaper Wrap Packaging (No Diapers New or Used), Air Pillows, Bubble Wrap, Pet Food Bags, Cereal Bags, Paper Towel Overwrap, Chip Bags, Meat Bags, Cheese Bags and Drink Pouches.

  • Please only recycle pieces the size of a grocery bag. Long films or bags can get wrapped around machinery, which increases cost to recycler and, ultimately, residents.

​

Make sure your recycling gets recycle! Recycling best-practices:

• ​Do not bag your recycling! Any bagged recycling will simply be thrown away by the recycler. Items must be loose in the bin.

• Recyclables are sorted by weight.  Please:

  • Remove any lids and add those to your bin separately

  • Containers should be empty - dump out left over liquids, scrape out leftover solids. You do not need to wash them, just make sure they are empty.

• Pizza boxes should be without grease. You can remove the greasy portions and dispose of those in residential trash, then recycle the clean carboard.

​​

Residents should leave their recyclables loose in a bin marked for recycling at the end of their driveways. Recycling stickers are available from the Borough office.

Again, do not bag your recycling! Any bagged recycling will simply be thrown away by the recycler. Items must be loose in the bin.
